What We Offer

~1 min read

We are seeking expert mathematicians to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core mathematics domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.

You will be assigned one of two task types:

✓Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of mathematical expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.

✓Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.

→Author original math questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
→Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement
→Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
→Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
→Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise intermediate steps in markdown format
→Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, university repositories)
→For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made
